Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All the crew members were great. Very friendly, knowledgeable and personable. The room stewards left character towels that were really cute and the waiters always asked about your day at the ports and recommended delicious dinners.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was clean and ship's layout was appropriate. The crew members also keep everything looking nice.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin was appropriate for my family. We had a great stateroom attendant that always kept our rooms clean.

Ship tip

Plan and book your shore excursion, valet parking and other packages before your cruise. It was a great feeling to step on the ship and enjoy myself without having to book last minute packages. Take an analogue watch to stay on ship's time. That was always a little confusion with the port time until I got adjusted to the time diferences.

Ports of call

Tampa, Florida

5 out of 5
Spent the night in Tampa the night before but did not have time for an excursion.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Since the port had beach access, I didn't book an excursion. If I had to do it again, I would've booked one to learn more Costa Maya.

Belize City, Belize

5 out of 5
We did an excursion-Shark Rays Alley snorkel and Caulkner Caye beach. This was our favorite excursion and port.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Enjoyed the port experience and excursion.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Enjoyed the port experience and the excursion.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It was a great experience. We decided to do self-assist.

So glad to hear about this ship. We are cruising on her next February. A tip, you can turn off the automatic time update on your phone so you stay on ship time. I didn't once and my alarm got me up at 3am.
